Good morning! Happy Monday! I'm revving up this morning. About a week ago I let my body come out of ketosis and started back on my regular plan so that I could prepare myself for this new amazing program! It just came out this month and I'm so ready for it! I think I've been ready for it since it was announced months ago! At any rate, I'm off work for most of the week and still gotta stay committed to my health, so here i am. Up early, got some stuff done and now my agility markers are in place, I'm drinking my pre workout Energize and starting to feel it kick in! When you get the tingle, that's when you know it's time to punch your workout in the face! Yes, I'm a Beachbody coach, I have been for 3 years now, but my business is about leading by example and helping others, not shoving it down your throat. If you're ready to make a change, you know where to find me. #keto #makeTheShift #ShiftShop #BeforePicsDone #ready #mIsFIT #beachbody #coach #celebrating3years #committed #focus #energize #msIsBs #Fit #fromflabtofab #MommyStrong #MsStrong #pushThrough #IAmStrongerThanMS

Day 2 Anyone close to me knows that I am a sassy, independent woman. BUT ...I am slowly learning that it is much easier to share my journey with those who love me. I have been blessed with an amazing support team, the family I have been lucky enough to handpick myself. Shout out to you all! MS is difficult to navigate life with, but you all manage to keep me on my path towards a great life, dreams and ambissions in tow (with a few minor tweaks). MS isn't easy, but your support (be it friendship, helping me up off the ground, raising funds, posting about MS, sharing my story) will help me on a personal level, other MS Warriors through means of #msqld and other organisations, and may lead us forwards to finding a cure. Please help spread awareness. #msawareness #kissgoodbyetoms #may #2017 #msisbs #💄 #💋 #💅 #redfordaaaaays

Breakfast! Cloud bread, Canadian bacon and eggs. Yummm. Gotta fuel your body and your mind at the same time! I change my diet and my exercise routines according to my stress levels so that my MS doesn't flare up. Does that seem weird?? So far the last few times I've done this it's worked. Think about it.. high stress makes MS flare up right? High stress also makes you eat like crap and makes your brain communicate negativity. I choose to throw my body off. I pick harder workouts to keep up with the fight, and different foods to feed my body different nutrition.. it gives my body something better to do than attack itself, it has no idea what to do but function semi properly. It helps me focus on something other than the stress inducer!! I focus on my workouts and my nutrition and try to let the other things fall into place. Plus.. exercise is a natural mood lifter and it relieves stress. So yeah... i go all out and get crazy with it! NOTHING is worth an MS attack and spending time in the hospital. Ain't nobody got time for that. #multiplesclerosis #msisbs #stayAhead #ShaunWeek #MindOverMatter #AintNobodyGotTimeForThat #keto #mIsFIT #stress #musclesInProgress #JustSayNoToMS #stressRelief #NoFlareUp #strongerEveryDay #BeStrongerThanYourExcuses #mommyStrong #Strong #MadeStrong #BecauseImWorthIt

Day 1 May is MS Awareness Month in Australia. Each day I will post an image to hopefully spread awareness about Multiple Sclerosis. MS is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system (the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord). It is thought to be an autoimmune disorder. This means that the immune system incorrectly attacks the person's healthy tissue. MS can cause a series of symptoms. These problems may be permanent or they may come and go. Plesse help spread awareness. #msawareness #kissgoodbyetoms #2017 #may #msisbs #💄 #💋 #💅 #redfordaaaaays

a poem about medications used for MS Disclaimer: This rhyme does not substitute for your doctor/neurologist’s consultation. I worry sometimes….I worry that patients Who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, are out there searching for medication, looking for something with a moderation (of side effects). Reading words like “toxicity” and “necrosis” words that, frankly, just sound atrocious, and finding themselves lost in translations. So I’ve written this little rhyme, in hopes of saving them some time. At first there was Betaseron, it’s a type of interferon, that decreases WBC proliferation and inflammation, reducing disease progression and lesions on the brain. It also has a side effect, that most patients should expect flu-like symptoms after each injection, but that should wane. There are three other injections that fortunately, share the same mechanism of actions to some degree. Extavia and Betaseron are one and the same, they are just produced as different brand names. Avonex is the next medication that was produced, it’s claim to fame is the amount of injections was reduced. It has the same (dis)advantages as Betaseron, although, anyone with a cardiac history should be withdrawn. Rebif is the last of the four interferons, it shares the same (dis)advantages as Betaseron. With any and all of these medications it’s important to mention, some symptoms that may require your attention: Tell your doctor if you have an extended fever, or a history of seizing, of any symptoms of depression, or any trouble breathing. While these only occur rarely, they are important to report, they may indicate an allergic reaction or something of that sort. Copaxone is the next injection that was produced, it’s claim to fame was flu-like symptoms were reduced. It works by mimicking a protein in the body that stops WBC from attacking myelin and being naughty. Some patients experience a one-time temporary reaction, including chest tightness, flushing, palpitations after the first injection. This happens very rarely, usually in 1 out of 8 patients, and only last about 15 minutes so have patience! That concludes the injections that can be done alone, there are two that must be given by your nurse….Joan! The first is an anti-cancer drug known as Novantrone, and it works to reduce the amount of WBCs in the body. Unfortunately this also makes the patient more prone (to infections). It also has a few side effects that make its use spotty: these include damaging the heart, a tiny risk of developing AML, low immunity and some other minor side effects as well. Tysabri is used a little more frequently, but not often, although this medication is used with great caution. It’s designed to prevent WBCs from getting into the CNS, which may not be beneficial for all patients, as it will depress ability of the brain to be protected from foreign entities, like the really scary one: progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Both of these medications must be administered in a hospital, unfortunately both share one defining obstacle: these can only be used as a short-term fix after that the benefits are outweighed by the risks. That concludes the medications given via hospital-based therapy, finally are the 3 medications that can be given orally. Gilenya is the first capsule that came out, it works by trapping WBCs in the lymph nodes. There are some things you should know about: this medication causes the heart rate to be slowed, making it a bad choice for those with a heart condition. You’d need to be monitored after the first dose by a physician. Swelling of the macula (a spot in the eye) has been shown, so you’ll also need frequent appointments to check your vision. After Gilenya, there was the first tablet: Aubagio, it works by stopping an enzyme from causing inflammation. What makes this medication stand out from the trio, is that it stays in the body for a long duration. This is especially important for women thinking about pregnancy, as these medications may harm the child, regrettably. A side effect that should be mentioned in this summation, you may experience tingling in the hands/feet or similar sensations. Tecfidera is the final oral medication that has been patented. In theory it work by acting as an anti-oxidant. Since this is the most recent medication that’s been produced, most of the risk/harms haven’t fully deduced. Two adverse reactions that has been shown, flushing and upset stomach are well known. I’d like to reiterate something to you, of grave importance, that despite the beautifully composed performance (;D), you will speak to your doctor/neurologist before, making any final decisions. This I implore.

Written by yours truly :D

Today marks 8 years since my MS diagnosis, and 5 years of being on my once a month infusion. To say my life is different than 8 or 5 years ago, would be an understatement. It's no doubt that at the time of dx I was at the lowest point in my life. Depressed, scared, in so much pain and there was nothing I could do about any of it. I literally felt like I'd just been handed a death sentence, the pain was unbearable and at the time I was told I just needed to deal with it, because the pain comes from lesions on the brain, not an actual injury. 8 years later, I know better! Technically that's still all true, but what you CAN do is heal your body! With the help of changing my eating habits, exercise and shakeology, I feel great, 95% better than before! I am now, not only a strong advocate for MS awareness but also for taking care of your body! Becsuse I've been on both sides of this ship, and I don't know where I'd be right now if I hadn't decided to beat the odds and stop being a statistic. Once you stop just "wanting" something and you make the conscience decision to do something about it, you'll be the happiest goal getter there is! #overcameMS #overcomingMS #NotAStatistic #msISbs #fiveYears #eightyears #mIsFIT #strongerEveryDay #exerciseisthebestmedicine #choices #smartchoices #exerciseJunkie #ificanyoucan #understatement #lesions #brain #diagnosis #shakeology #StrongAdvocate #healthiestmealoftheday #betterYou #superFoods #selfLove #delicious #goalGetter #GoalDigger #nevergiveup #multiplesclerosis #curems #lifeGoals #surpassingOdds #beatTheOdds #WhyNotYou
